The title of the question pretty much tells it all.
When using the java SDK provided by Crystal Reports to export a report as an Excel spread-sheet. Although the cells grow even now, only the first line is visible in the export XLS.
In the Crystal Reports UI, this is achieved by setting the ‘Grow’ option from the Report Export options.
What parameter must be set so that the corresponding cell visibly grows to accomodate large/multi-line text?
My problem was that the field width was set to the width of the matter it contained. What worked eventually was to have the field-width in Crystal Report set to slightly smaller than the matter it is to contain.
Say, the matter to be written is ‘Address Line One’.
Set the field in design view such that only ‘Address’ is visible.
Then set the field to ‘Can Grow’ with 0 (no-limit) on the number of lines to grow.
When the report is exported to XLS, the cell in XLS will be resized to display the rest of the body.
